Simply the Best

Diametrically-opposed to the art deco design of a Trump Turnberry in Scotland or the ostentatious kitsch to be found in a Mission Hills resort, Finca Cortesín can be interpreted in different ways by different visitors and even in contrasting shades and tones by regular guests, because, quite often, what you think you see is not always what you get, and this Andalusian masterstroke will never disappoint.

Located close to the Andalucía costal village of Casares, and, at 90km - one-hour on the Autopista del Mediterráneo - from Málaga airport and well beyond the somewhat frenzied tourist traps of Marbella, Torremolinos and Fuengirola, driving under the white archway which announces one’s arrival at Finca Cortesín, the outside world is airbrushed out in favour of a sense of being embraced by an old friend and led to a better life.

First impressions on arrival at Finca Cortesín are inevitably pleasurable, sensual almost, a simple reception hall with discreet desks eschewing the normal glitzy resort check-in facilities - not a chandelier in sight - the welcome is warm but reserved, because this place is all about the guests, the architecture, interior design, facilities fixtures and fittings all more than capable of doing the resort’s bidding.
